Deuan and myself started out at Hampton Court (10.25)

High Wycombe
motoring along
got to Aylesbury at 13.05 and nice lunch (baked potato & tuna)
we got adventurous cycling along the canal towards Marsworth
I dare you to jump over that canal
piece of cake
when you're on a canal boat, take a strong magnet and try some fishing for lock keys....hmmm
what shall I say...
some A road back to London (near Chalfont/ Amersham)
and to London (Southall).jpg)
to our final resting point (The Bedford Pub, Balham)
Overview:
- we did 97 miles today with the detour via the canal (going East from Aylesbury....who needs mountain bikes again?
- the route was definitely more on the flat side than going from London to Brighton
- weather was pretty nice, even though we got into half a dozen small showers
Total time: 6.05h
Average speed: 15.9452 mph (25.6613 kmh)

Final Points:
- forgot my heart rate monitor at home that day - so no stats...
-couldn't find my SKINS shirt so took LEJOG baselayer and cycle shirt (good choice as it prevented sunburn.
- the SKINS cycle short has performed excellently on this challenge and I felt pretty comfy all the way through
- a great day of cycling, with many memorable moments along the canal and racing through London at the end to get to Balham...
Having read this material, I have learned for myself a lot of the new. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think bicycles are used for recreation at all ages. Bicycle touring, also known as cyclotourism, involves touring and exploration or sightseeing by bicycle for leisure. A brevet or randonnée is an organized long-distance ride.
